Thursday, December 9th guest in Los Angeles were flipping out in excitement celebrating the launch of Flip. Flip is the latest app that is changing the beauty shopping experience by making the experience social as well. Think TikTok meets a beauty shopping network, but better.

Flip was founded in 2019 by serial entrepreneur and ecommerce veteran Nooruldeen “Noor” Agha in Los Angeles. Flip is a social commerce platform reinventing the beauty shopping experience through user-generated reviews that become instantly shoppable with a seamless single-click checkout. Shoppers get to discover and shop beauty, skincare, and personal care products by flipping through social-media-style content created by other users on the app.The apps patented technology allows shoppers to post video reviews of their purchases or create shoppable live shows that they ca in turn receive commissions on sales made from their posts, and have access to real-time data on their content’s performance. Flip also provides brands with full service, back-end support, and offers free, same-day shipping, seamless returns, and best-in-class customer service straight from the convenience of the app on your phone.

The launch party celebration was hosted by none other than Grammy-nominated artist
Halsey with special performances from breakout singer Scout Willis, up-and-coming artist BIA and R&B superstar Kehlani. The entertainment didn’t just stop with those exclusive performances, but Hollywood heavy hitter DJs Amrit, Kito and Zack Bia got the party started and going with DJ sets all evening. CoverGirl, TooFaced, Pacifica and About Face hosted branded seating areas for partygoers to snap photos and share the night’s festivities.

For the music lovers of the world April is known for one thing — and no it’s not April showers — we’re talking about Coachella, the ever growing music festival in Indio, California that boasts more diversity in its lineup than most other festivals. Every Coachella lineup usually includes at least one act from every musical genre — well, except for country, you don’t really see a lot of country.

But, for all the diversity in the music, most Coachella festival goers end up looking roughly the same every year. There is definitely a “signature” look amongst attendees. Generally if you spot denim hot pants, boots, and a floral bandeau top paired with a blossoming flower headband (or flower anything really), you know you’re right smack in the middle Coachella. Coachella is all about bringing out the inner hippie in all of us –also, it’s usually hot as balls —  so many of us like to show off our softer side while wearing as little clothes as possible.

There’s nothing wrong with going flower power for a weekend (or two, if you’re hardcore enough to attend both weekends), but with all the different kinds of music available for us to explore, isn’t it more fun to match your outfit to your musical mood? We certainly thought so and because we want to help you stand out from the crowd we matched some of our favorite celebrity looks from recent Coachella’s to the music genre they fit best.

These looks will help inspire you as you get ready for you weekend in the desert. And, to help make the process more fun, we created playlists to help keep you in the mood while you’re getting ready.

Enjoy!

1. Hip hop/R&B – Amandla Stenberg

Our favorite hip hop looks are equal parts comfort, statement and nostalgia. Amandla Stenberg hit all these notes at the Calvin Klein party during weekend 1 of Coachella 2016. Her look was reminiscent of TLC’s signature look from the 90s, but she updated the crop top and baggy jeans look with wide-legged linen pants. If you’re going to Coachella for the hip hop chances are you want to dance and also listen to some sick lyrics. Listen to some Ice Cube to help you perfect the old school look and then throw in some DJ Mustard so you can see if your outfit passes the dancing test. 

2. Electronic – Ellie Goulding

Usually when electronic music and festivals come together, less is more in terms of clothing. But why not make your outfit a bit more sporty while jumping around to whichever DJ set you want to catch? Ellie Goulding did just the right amount of attention grabbing and comfort by mixing up her silver shorts with white sneakers, which we think “Kanye” would appreciate. Now comfortably wait for that bass to drop at Calvin Harris or Jack U’s sets

Even though many people love to hate on pop music, there’s a reason its POPular- it’s easy to listen to, catchy, and fun. So shamelessly rock out to some Ellie Goulding, or go get “high on legal marijuana” with Halsey. As for what to wear, just turn to effortlessly chic Kate Bosworth- a simple white dress with an embroidered jacket will go a long way. It’s cute, it’s comfy and just a tad bit sleeker than the typical Coachella look.

4. Indie – Emma Roberts

Indie, short for independent, comes in many shapes and forms in the music and fashion world. To us indie is all about being different from whatever’s most popular. So ditch the flower crowns, the crazy patterns, and the big statement jewelry. Instead, chill out while discovering Beach House and BØRNS, and keep it simple and chic with a denim dress, like Emma Roberts at last weekend’s festivities.

5. Rock – Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner rocks out at Coachella in 2015.

Rock style is easy to identify- lots of leather, back, studs, tights, and chunky boots. But why not take inspiration from rock women of the 70’s? Kendall Jenner did just that at the music festival in 2015 with an off the shoulder crop top and a maxi skirt with high slits. While you’re getting ready tune into the rock classics of Gun ‘N Roses, or discover bands like Moon Taxi and The Kills, each song is sure to inspire a different kind of look.

KROQ has announced it’s lineup for it’s 26th annual Almost Acoustic Christmas. The holiday concert has a tradition of bringing the biggest names in alternative/indie rock to celebrate the holidays. This year, the event will be held at The Forum in Inglewood, CA over two nights- December 12th and 13th.

Night one will feature AWOLNATION, Bastille, Cage The Elephant, Disclosure, Foals, Halsey, Silversun Pickups, The Struts, Twenty One Pilots, Weezer, and X Ambassadors. Proceeds from the evening will go to Para Los Niños, a non-profit family service agency designed to raise at-risk children out of poverty and into brighter futures through positive educational opportunities and support.

The second night boasts performances by Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness, Chris Cornell, Cold War Kids, Elle King, Fall Out Boy, George Ezra, James Bay, Of Monsters And Men, Panic! At The Disco, The 1975, and The Neighbourhood. The evening will benefit Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center, which provides a safe after-school environment where hundreds of boys and girls in South Central Los Angeles participate in tutoring, learn important social skills and are guided to succeed in school and enter college.

Tickets for both nights go on sale Friday, November 20th at 12pm. Get more details here.
